North Texas Food Bank Peanut Butter Drive Raises Record $360,000
DALLAS — The North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) announced on October 14, 2026 that its 13th annual Peanut Butter Drive raised more than $360,000 and collected approximately 90,800 pounds of peanut butter during September, both records for the campaign.
Held during Hunger Action Month, the drive reached all 12 counties in NTFB's service area for the fourth year in a row, with cities, schools, faith groups, businesses and neighborhood organizations taking part. Peanut butter is among the most requested items at food pantries because it is shelf-stable, kid-friendly and rich in protein. Donations support families facing food insecurity through NTFB's network of nearly 500 partner agencies.
Kroger returned as the 2026 Grocery Champion Sponsor. At an awards celebration on October 13 at NTFB's Perot Family Campus in Plano, the food bank honored standout contributors, including the City of Plano as Top City.
